Abstract
To better approximate real-world learning and facilitate far-transfer, we varied the number of potential dimensions encoded in the stimulus used in a category learning task. Results suggest the difficulty of a categorization task - as reflected by individual and group-level measures of accuracy and learning - depends on these.
